ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

City Council annually approves a resolution authorizing the overfill of three firefighter positions, two police officer positions, one detention officer position, and one public safety dispatcher position over the authorized budget. Staff requests approval to overfill these positions due the rigorous and lengthy recruitment and selection process necessary to find qualified applicants.  In addition, these positions typically have extended training periods that are required before they can work independently in their positions. This resolution is required each year in conjunction with the vote to adopt the budget.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approve the resolution as set forth in the caption above.
